Thank you for the warm welcome. Oh yes, sorry I wasnt clear at all. Well the sentences above are not examples of similes and/or metaphors. Our english teacher asked us to create a metaphor and/or a simile for each of the following descriptions: 1. Umbrellas popping out during a sudden downpour. 2. A friend who bursts angrily into your room. 3. A green Volkswagen with pink and yellow daisies pasted on it. 4. An ambulance speeding through traffic with its siren wailing. 5. A skyscraper the top of which is lost in fog. 6. A thin old woman in a ragged dressed. I came up with a metaphor for the first one, and another metaphor for the 4th one, I'm working on the 2nd one. I would appreciate it if...http://www.englishforums.com/English/CreatingMetaphorsSimilies/cjgbz/post.htm#213157Tue, 26 May 2009 06:51:49 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:213157Shakespear_is_love8http://www.englishforums.com/English/CreatingMetaphorsSimilies/cjgbz/post.htm#213157http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-213157.xmlHey there Ms Susan Stewart Thank you so much I know what a smilie, and a metaphor are.

I'm not quite sure what the question is – are your sentences your examples of similes and metaphors? Or did you want someone to suggest similes that would suit your sentences? See you, MrPhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/CreatingMetaphorsSimilies/cjgbz/post.htm#213024Thu, 26 Feb 2009 07:51:49 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:213024Anonymous10http://www.englishforums.com/English/CreatingMetaphorsSimilies/cjgbz/post.htm#213024http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-213024.xmlAmy, A simile uses the terms 'like' or 'as', so your first sentence could be 'A VW like a field of flowers - green and painted with pink and yellow daises. A metaphor uses a descriptive term, for example, 'English was a dark forest to me, but after my classes it has become a sunny field.' Hope this helps!
